Adam Holbrook
Adam Holbrook stands as one of the most outstanding riders in the Florida Trials Association’s history. He began riding trials at the age of 14, and rode his first full season in the club’s Intermediate class. The following season, after finishing near the top of the Intermediate class, he made the most rapid jump ever witnessed by the organization and entered the Expert class—the top class in the state! That same year Adam made his debut in National Competition and finished as the 1999 High School Class National Champion—the only Floridian to win a national title in the observed trials championship. In Adam’s first full season of competition in the Expert class, he finished with a ranking of #3. Currently Adam is tied in the points lead for the State Championship title and contesting the Championship class in the NATC/AMA National Championship series. In addition to competing in the State Championship Series, Regional Events, and National Events, he spends hours practicing and coaching new young riders. He realizes his role as a representative of the sport and spends considerable time working with younger riders and working as a volunteer for the local trials club. This is a very intensive form of competition, and these riders are among the most dedicated of athletes. Trials is one of the most skill intensive sports imaginable, and places incredible emphasis on such fine tuned talents as balance, throttle-control, mental concentration, special riding techniques, and absolute confidence for a rider to reach the uppermost levels of competition. Adam has spent years perfecting these techniques, and this shows in his riding abilities.
